TRANSMIT BEAMFORMING APPARATUS, RECEIVE BEAMFORMING APPARATUS, ULTRASOUND PROBE HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR BEAMFORMING

摘要

Provided are a transmission beamforming apparatus, a reception beamforming apparatus, a probe having the same, an ultrasonic diagnosis device, and a method for beamforming, which are designed to reduce the amount of data used by flexibly setting delay resolution. The transmission beamforming apparatus which transmits ultrasound beam through a multiple ultrasound transducer element comprises: a transmission beamformer for forming a transmission signal pattern by applying delay time to a transmission signal corresponding to each of the ultrasound transducer element; and a transmission controller for determining delay frequency applied to apply the delay time.
